Kill Your Babies!: Terminate the 1980s!

For this round, its time to take off the nostalgia glasses and decide which game from the 1980s should stand above all others.

SO: As always, just in case there are new players, here are the rules:

Rule #1: When you make a kill, give your reason why you are killing. Just taking it out isn't all that inspiring. Whether you truly dislike it, you strike out of revenge, you feel that there are other important titles that should have made it, or you have legitimate critiques, explaining your kill is necessary to validate its death. Yes, even to those of you who kill because they're good (Because that makes sense)

Rule #2: Please keep the updated list for the benefit of other players. Cross through your kill to identify what's been chosen.

Rule #3: You may kill another game after only four other people have made a kill OR if 12 hours have passed from the last overall kill (not necessarily your own). This should be plenty of time for others to get involved.

Rule #4: If you fail to give a reason, make a 2nd kill without allowing the time to pass/proper amount of players a turn, or if there is an unforeseen issue up for potential review, your kill may not be recognized. This rule is subjective to the situation and hopefully will not be implemented.

Rule #5: Per normal, we will have a straw poll for the final two. Please vote for the one you want to win, not lose.

Let me know if you have any questions. Your kills are your own, so be ruthless, uncompromising, and most importantly:

I'm killing off Leisure Suit Larry - because it's a casually sexist game that treats women as objects. It's actually a remake of an older text based game called Softporn Adventure - which clues you into the intended use of this game as pre-internet spankbank materials. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but it's like putting the Sears catalog lingerie section on this list. So... bye!

Disclaimer: when I was in HS, I did testing for Sierra, and one of the first games I tested was a LSL sequel. :)

Maybe it's just my inner sonic fanboy talking but I never really cared much for this game. I mean, it ain't bad, but I can think of at least five games on the list right now I'd pick over it in a heartbeat.

I'm jealous... I love Sierra so much.......Hey! how dare you. The first LSL is a masterpiece!

No one really cared about this game until it's multi-platform release in the 90s. It had little to no impact in the decade it came out in, and ever then, has anyone even heard of this one? Aside from the guy saying to himself, "I did! I put it on this list!"?

Did you know that the original name for Pac-Man was Puck-Man? You'd think it was because he looks like a hockey puck but it actually comes from the Japanese phrase 'Paku-Paku,' which means to flap one's mouth open and closed. They changed it because they thought Puck-Man would be too easy to vandalize, you know, like people could just scratch off the P and turn it into an F or whatever. - Scott Pilgrim
